F Units are a well-recognized line of diesel-electric railway engines produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. These smoothly curving engines were very successful after their introduction in 1939 and played a major role in replacing steam power in North American railroading. While many associate their clean lines with crack passenger expresses, they were actually designed for freight service.

For passenger service there were the E units, somewhat larger than the Fs, but with a similar look.
